The Enchanting Process of Making and Utilizing Moon Water

Shaina Tranquilino

August 12, 2023

Moon water, also known as lunar water or moon-infused water, is a fascinating and mystical practice that has been used by many cultures for centuries. The idea behind it is to harness the energy of the moon and infuse it into water, creating a potent elixir that can be used for various purposes. In this blog post, we will explore the process of making and using moon water.

To begin with, let's understand why the moon is believed to possess such powerful energy. The moon has long been associated with cycles, transformation, and feminine energy. Its phases are seen as symbolic representations of personal growth and change. By aligning ourselves with these lunar energies, we can tap into their power to manifest our desires and intentions.

Now, onto the process of making moon water. Firstly, you will need a clean glass jar or container that can hold water. It's important to use glass as it doesn't interact with the energetic properties of the water like plastic does. Fill your container with filtered or spring water - never use tap water as it may contain impurities or chemicals.

Next comes the crucial step: charging your water under the light of the moon. Different phases of the moon have different energies associated with them, so choose which phase aligns best with your intention for using the moon water. Here are some common associations:

1. New Moon: Represents new beginnings and setting intentions.

2. Waxing Moon: Symbolizes growth, abundance, and manifestation.

3. Full Moon: Signifies completion, heightened intuition, and releasing negative energy.

4. Waning Moon: Ideal for banishing negativity or bad habits.

Place your jar outside in a location where it will receive direct moonlight throughout the night. If you're concerned about debris or bugs getting into your water, cover it with a breathable cloth or lid.

In the morning after exposure to moonlight, retrieve your jar of charged water. You now have moon water! It's important to note that the energy of the moon is subtle, so don't expect your water to taste or look any different from regular water. Its power lies in its energetic properties.

Now that you have your moon water, how can you use it? The possibilities are endless! Here are a few ideas:

1. Drinking: Moon water can be consumed as a way to imbibe lunar energy and enhance spiritual practices like meditation or ritual work.

2. Cleansing: Use moon water as a sacred tool for cleansing crystals, altar tools, or even your own aura by sprinkling or lightly misting them.

3. Bathing: Add moon water to your bath for a soothing and purifying experience. This can help release negative energies and promote relaxation.

4. Plant care: Watering your plants with moon-infused water can nourish their growth and bring positive energy into your gardening practice.

5. Rituals and spells: Incorporate moon water into rituals or spellwork related to manifesting intentions, releasing negativity, or connecting with higher realms.

Remember, when using moon water, it's essential to set clear intentions and visualize the desired outcome while working with this potent elixir. Treat it with reverence and respect, acknowledging the ancient knowledge and wisdom associated with lunar energies.

Making and using moon water is a beautiful way to connect with nature's cycles and tap into the mysterious powers of the moon. Whether you're seeking personal transformation, spiritual growth, or simply looking for a little extra magic in your life, incorporating moon water into your daily routine can be a powerful practice that brings intentionality and mindfulness into every sip or sprinkle.

So go ahead – embrace the cosmic dance of the moon, create your own moon water, and let its enchantment infuse every aspect of your being!

Remus Lupin x whimsical!reader - Hogwarts Era (no Voldemort) - Soulmate AU

CW: swearing, mostly fluff, funny moments with friends, no plot just vibes [crystal dialogue prompt courtesy of keke the unstablereader 🫶]

Though Remus was undoubtedly relieved that you a) knew of his affliction, and b) forgave him for his arseholery, he was admittedly a little more than slightly disappointed that very little had changed between the two of you.

Which made no sense on account of the fact that he never planned on anything changing between the two of you to begin with; he was discontent, nevertheless. 

“Oh, good, Y/N’s here. Listen, how the hell do I stop the nargles from stealing my things?” James shouted as you approached the table. You looked like you had perhaps only been prepared to say hello and carry on, to which James was having none of it and nearly bodily forced you onto the bench next to him. 

“Hello, Jamie. Do you have your cranberry seed oil infused corks?” You asked as you obediently took your seat.

James scoffed and pulled out a lanyard from under his uniform which, lo and behold, had a cork attached to it smelling very much like cranberry seed oil. “I literally never go anywhere without it.” He said as if you had asked a particularly ridiculous question.

You hummed and Remus watched a divot appear between your eyebrows as you scrutinized what Remus assumed was James’ aura or some other such entity. “Well, I don’t see any around you, James. What makes you think you have a nargle problem?”

James groaned dejectedly and turned back towards his lunch. “All of my things are missing! It started around the time you went missing.” James stressed, still not having completely forgiven you for your disappearance at the last full moon. “It was my school tie, and some socks, a quill set my mom got me at the start of school, and now I can’t find my herbology textbook!”

You hummed again and seemed to look around the table as if you’d somehow find his belongings there. “Perhaps you should ask your friend Peter.”

Remus heard Peter choke on his pumpkin juice as James, Sirius, and Remus all turned to look at him. 

“Uh...haha, so, funny thing...” He started, cut off by an indignant squawk from James.

“You were stealing my stuff!? Why!?” He cried.

Peter’s cheeks pinked though a pleased smile graced his lips. “You were so worried about Y/N being missing and the nargles taking your things. I thought a funny prank would lighten the mood; I wouldn’t get a chance like that again!” He defended himself. 

“You are so dead.” James muttered as Peter (wisely) took off out of the Great Hall with James hot on his heels.

“Alright Y/N.” Sirius started, throwing an arm over your shoulders. “You’ve gotta tell me; how’d you know it was Petey boy?”

A shy sort of pride painted your features and Remus thought it was the most beautiful you ever looked. “Wrackspurts.”

Sirius’ smile fell slightly, but the amusement never left his eyes. “Wrackspurts?” 

You nodded in agreement. “Mhm. His head was full of them.” You said simply as you took a piece of cut strawberry from James’ abandoned plate and popped it in your mouth.

Sirius nodded with a look on his face that seemed to say ‘fair enough’. “And how’d you know about this one?” He asked, motioning towards Remus with his head.

“About his affliction, or about his soulmate bond?” You asked as if you were simply talking about the weather.

Sirius cocked his head as he considered you. “Both.”

“His aura...or I suppose Moony’s aura.”

Remus felt his eyebrows recede into his hair line. “Moony has an aura?” He asked you.

You nodded in the affirmative. “I’m assuming you’re right-handed?”

Remus nodded numbly.

“Most of the lunar cycle, Moony’s aura sits around your left shoulder. As the cycle moves closer to the full, he resides on your right. Also, sometimes when I’m near, he tries to come closer. Would you say that’s true?” Your serene tone did nothing to calm the racing of his heart.

“Well, I’ll be damned.” Sirius said, interrupting Remus’ internal struggle. “There really was nothing you could do to hide from this witch, huh Moons?”

Remus chuckled self-deprecatingly and looked down into his lap in a little bit of shame. Your smile never faltered, however. 

Peter and James returned then; James with a self-satisfied grin on his face, and Peter with his hair, shirt collar, and tie in disarray. 

“What’s so funny?” James asked as he sat beside you, smacking a platonic kiss to your cheek as he winked over at Lily from her spot further down the table, whose face turned a shade of red rivaling her hair at having been caught watching James.

“Remus and his last two braincells trying to keep Y/N away from him.” Sirius snickered. Remus kicked at him under the table which caused you to jump. He apparently had missed his mark and had kicked your shin by accident. 

“Fuckin’ hells, dove. I’m so sorry. Are you okay? Oh my gods...” 

Sirius barked another laugh as Peter whispered a quiet ‘dove?’

“Oi! You really have lost your gobstones! Can’t believe Moony’s the dumbest one out of all of us now.” James said as he checked your shin for injury under the table. 

“Remus isn’t dumb.” You defended the dumb bastard. 

“Well, you can’t say he’s very smart here, dollface.” Sirius conceded.

You hummed and shooed James away from your leg. “Wisdom was chasing him; Remus was just always faster.” 

This time, poor Pete lost his pumpkin juice completely as he sputtered mid-sip. You didn’t even seem to realize you’d said something particularly funny (or devastating) as James nearly fell off the bench in a fit of laughter and Sirius pulled you into his side.

“Oh, for the love of Merlin. Remus, please, can we keep her!?” He said in between bouts of laughter, wiping away a mirthful tear from under his eye.

Remus had no objections. 

What Remus hadn’t agreed to was this.

Remus understood that allowing Moony (and...himself) to keep you around meant that he would ultimately have to share you. He knew that he’d have to share you with James, he’d have to (rather unfortunately) share you with Regulus, he’d have to share you with Pete and Sirius who seemed just as enamored with you, and he’d likely eventually have to share you with Lily, Marlene, Mary, and the rest of his friend group.

He was however not in the slightest prepared to have to share you with the likes of Barty Crouch Junior. 

Remus had, quite happily, found you studying in the library alone and asked politely if he could join you at your table. The two of you had been studying in companionable silence when Regulus showed up. No matter, Regulus was quiet and diligent in his schoolwork. 

Then, Sirius had shown up perturbed that his baby brother and his best mate were hanging out (to which both Regulus and Remus vehemently denied, seeing as they were both here studying with you, not each other), and insisted he be involved. Though Sirius struggled with the whole sitting-still-and-quietly thing, he more or less managed to join the three of you without much fuss.

But then James showed up, which sparked a long and arduous debate between he and Regulus regarding which entity was worse – wrackspurts or nargles – to which you weren’t even a part of save for each of them calling to you in need of an explanation every so often. You would look up from your book and answer them politely before returning to your schoolwork as if you weren’t surrounded by complete idiots. 

Remus was lovestruck. 

And then Barty showed up.

“Y/N, Y/N, Y/N, Y/N, Y/N, Y/N.” Crouch screeched as he ran through the library completely ignoring the shushing from other students and string of curse words following him from the crotchety librarian. 

“Hello, Bartemus.” You greeted the banshee serenely.

“Quickly, darling.” He started before promptly dumping a large sack of tumbled rocks and gems in front of you. 

“Where’d you get all of these?” Regulus asked incredulously, reaching to pluck a small stone that had rolled over to his open book.

“Never you mind that!” Barty shouted as he swatted his hand away. “Y/N - light of my life, apple of my eye - which of these crystals will help me piss of my dad the most?!”

Once again appearing completely unperturbed by the general chaos around you, you perused the crystals set before you. 

“Well, Carnelian can invoke passion.” You said as you plucked a red stone from the pile. “Garnet can invoke intense emotions: jealousy, anger, fear. I recommend pairing it with gold – maybe place it in a gold setting for a necklace or something similar. Dravite will bring up unresolved emotions...” And soon, two red stones and a brown stone sat in your palm as you held them before Barty. 

“Pfft, figures.” Barty grumbled. “Red and gold never fail to piss me off either.” He sneered, looking pointedly at the three Gryffindor’s seated at your table. Remus was not necessarily proud of the low growl that the comment elicited from him, but he was proud of the restraint he showed when Moony was screaming in his head to tear the fuckers head clean off his scrawny body. 

“Bartemus.” You chided gently, looking up at Barty standing above you like a parent might look at a particularly troublesome child: full of love.

Remus hated it. 

“Sorry my sweets.” Barty cooed at you and ran a finger along your cheekbone. 

Remus hated that more. 

“Mr. Crouch!” The librarian called, finally having caught up to her problem student.

“Well, I must be off.” Barty called casually as if it was completely of his own volition that he now vacate the premises. “Keep the rest, beautiful angel face. Much love!” 

And he was gone. 

Thank Merlin. 

“The friends you keep.” James muttered as he shook his head in disappointment as if he wasn’t one of said friends you keep.

“Oh, Bartemus is not so bad. Perhaps just a little misunderstood, and a little more than maniacal.” You put simply. 

James was shushed loudly by the librarian for his laughter.

“I’ll go check on him.” Regulus said as he stood. He barely spared the Gryffindors a glance as he nodded politely at you. “I’ll see you later, Y/N.”

“Goodbye Regulus.” You sang to him, smiling brightly like he had just been anything more than sort of polite to you.

Remus once again figured that was as much affection as Regulus could ever show. 

“You boys are welcome to help yourselves to the crystals. It’s a wonderful idea to take the ones that speak most to you.”

James exclaimed gleefully as he started to browse the many stones in front of you. Sirius’ face piqued in interest as he quickly plucked the most sparkly stone on the table.

“Jamie, you should bring this one to Lily.” You said as you handed him a small, slightly translucent pink stone. James didn’t bother asking questions such as ‘why?’ or ‘what is it?’ or even ‘should I be worried?’ before he accepted it, punctuating his ‘thanks angel’ with a kiss to your hair before he was racing out of the library.

“What stone was that?” Remus asked, unable to quell his curiosity.

“Rose quartz.” You responded simply.

“What’s it do?” Sirius asked.

Your mouth quirked in thought. “Stones don’t really do anything. They just encourage what’s already possible.”

Sirius rolled his eyes earning him a defensive kick in the shin from Remus. 

“What does rose quartz encourage, dove?” Remus placated.

“Love and affection.”

Remus nodded and watched as Sirius pocketed two more shiny and sparkly stones before his expression was painted with mischief. “Say, Y/N. What crystals should our dear Moony here have?”

Remus couldn’t even bother shooting his mate an unimpressed glare when your face picked up excitedly and you began sifting through the stones. He watched just as animatedly. 

After a few moments, you proudly displayed a small palmful of stones. 

Remus placed his hand palm up beside your much smaller one and relished in the intimacy of you gently transferring the stones into his palm; your hands gently brushing in the action.

“What are those stones?” Sirius asked curiously.

Remus swore some bashfulness painted your features as you pointed the stones out in Remus’ palm. He was thankful for the continued contact as you explained them all. 

“This is amethyst, which supports calmness; rids the mind of negative thoughts, and promotes dreamless and restful sleep.” You explained, causing Remus to nod his head. That could be helpful.“This is obsidian which helps one process their emotions.” That one earned a snort of laughter from Sirius. “Jasper is supposed to provide support during stressful times. This is moonstone which...well...I suppose that’s self-explanatory.” 

Remus hummed but couldn’t help but notice you failed to discuss the last stone sitting in his palm. He wasn’t going to push it, however.

“And the pink one?” Sirius asked sharing no such qualms, lips quirked in a smirk and eyes full of mirth. 

You cleared your throat awkwardly, clearly feeling slightly self-conscious, but explained it nonetheless. “Rose quartz to encourage love and trust.” 

Remus would usually consider himself a generally skeptical person: but you may have just converted him.

A/N: English is not my mother tongue. I apologize for any errors.

You settled into your nightly beauty ritual to prepare for a night alone. Sitting on a small bench, You sighed in sadness as you looked at your untouchable marital bed. You felt like an idiot because you saw your husband throughout the day, but something inside you was feeling a little more needy than usual. Lacking the touches and kisses of the man with whom he shared his life for half a decade.

It was an agreement sealed without words, just with indecent gestures and touches; You were his good queen during the day and at night he devoured you like a thirsty beast. It was a perfect marriage, You would say; a passionate husband who gave her pleasure in and out of bed. But the idea that something was missing started to grow in your mind, you tried to know what was missing until, during a walk through the market, you discovered it. Your eyes lit up when you saw a young mother swimming with her baby tied to things and thought how she would like to have a baby of her own. After witnessing that simple scene, the idea of having a child timidly appeared in his mind and grew quickly, consuming all his neurons.

It started with a shy voice, deep in his head. A baby, the voice whispered in his mind. Have his babies, the voice hissed in his mind often. As a wife and queen You were expected to conceive a child one day, but such a conversation was never had between You and your husband. He never demanded a baby from her, but he never said he didn't want them.

You were moved by each completion of a lunar cycle where women went to the temple of Ixchel to thank for their blessings. You, as queen, were always present to thank the Goddess for your femininity and ask for good fruits in your marriage. Every time a young mother from Talokan swam to the feet of Ixchel with her baby in her arms and asked the Goddess for protection for her child, You imagined yourself with your own child on your lap thanking the Goddess for its life.

You haven't talked about this with your husband. God, no, you didn't want to stress him out even more. Her husband was so adamant after the peace agreement sealed between Talokan and Wakanda. The flame of war still burned in your pupils, so, following your role as wife and queen, You refused to bore him with your silly matters and decided to keep the thought and attempts to generate a life just for yourself.

However, the idea of keeping it a secret was increasingly becoming difficult to hide. You drooled every time you saw a gentle gesture between a mother and her son, you made love to your husband frequently demanding that he spill his semen inside You, you caressed your untouched stomach in front of the mirror imagining it swollen with K's seed. K'uk'ulkan, visited the temple of Ixchel placing baskets full of dragon fruit on its altar, took herbal infusion with dragon fruit seed to open her uterus and cried every time her menstruation arrived. Her husband was so busy that he didn't notice her lamentations about not having a baby in her womb.

K'uk'ulkan slides through the curtain with tired shoulders hunched, with generous drops of water sliding off him, he brushes his hair out of his eyes as he looks at You. For Ixchel he was so beautiful and irresistible that You had to press your fingers against his bench he was sitting on so as not to jump on it.

“You’re still awake, it’s late. You should sleep.”

You stand up with a smile. Your short nightgown, which barely covered your thighs, sways as you walk towards him.

“I'm fine, my love. I like waiting for my husband.” You say stopping in front of him.

“I have such a good wife.” He says cheekily as he presses a kiss to your blushing cheek.

He offers His armored wrists to You in a silent cry for help. You begin to remove each of your gold-plated vibranium accessories. You masterfully undid hooks and bonds, as you have done many times during your years at his side. When he was free of his ornaments he sealed her lips with his in a kiss of tenderness and passion.

“Come, lie down with me.” You tried to pull him onto the bed, but his firm hands kept you in place. “My love, is something wrong?”

"No." He said simply. “I’m just enjoying my queen’s beauty.”

Suddenly feeling shy, you looked away as your cheeks turned red.

“You shower me with praise, K'uk'ulkan.”

He nods and pulls you by your hips until you are pressed against his wet chest. He reaches out, cups her face and pulls her into a voracious kiss. A moan escapes his throat as he tastes her on his tongue. You bite his lips and pull the way he likes, your husband lets out a sound through his mouth and kisses you again like a thirsty man, savoring your mouth as if it were the tastiest candy.

You place your hands on his solid chest, feeling his heartbeat quicken at your touch. Gods, You will never tire of the effect you have on him. This made You greedy and malicious, but possessing power over a God-king provided You with absurd pleasure. He breaks the kiss leaving You a mess with your heavy breathing and swollen lips.

“I intend to shower you with more than praise, my queen.” He murmurs as he pushes her a little towards the bed. You fall sitting on the soft reeds covered in soft sheets and pillows. “Lie down and spread your legs for your husband.”

You obeyed, as you always did, laying your head on the soft pillows and spreading your legs. Your breath catches and you bite your lip when your king positions himself between your legs and observes your naked sex.

“What a good girl I have in my bed.” He says in a sigh as he watched your exposed pussy. "So beautiful..."

He hums as he positions his face in front of her pussy with every intention of devouring her. Hot breath penetrates through your thin skin, sending pleasurable spikes. You feel him place small kisses on your pelvis, making your legs tremble as your core vibrates in anticipation. His wet hands explore her body covered in the thin nightgown.

“K'uk'ulkan...” You whimper as he pinches your left nipple,

He ignores it as he tugs at your nightgown with an impatient growl. He rips it line by line until your body is completely exposed to him.

He moves off your pelvis and begins to place soft kisses on your exposed belly, making the wet spot between your legs grow absurdly. You knew he couldn't see his excitement, but his nose could smell the sweet smell that your pussy gave off. Your husband moves away from you, supporting himself on his elbows and looks directly into his face.

“My beautiful, beautiful queen.” He says while feeling one of her breasts with his hands. “They would look beautiful swollen with milk…” his hand leaves her breast and goes to her belly. “...You would be even more beautiful with my seed growing inside You.”

His words take you by surprise, taking you out of your little world of pleasure. Her breath hitches when her husband's smile becomes wider than normal.

“I... I...” You stammered and babbled like an idiot without knowing how to respond.

“I know the woman I love, my queen.” He began to caress her stomach as if something was growing there. “You think I didn’t understand your anguish and desire for a child. I know that it goes back to the time of Ixchel and offers dragon fruit and prayers so that she fills her womb with a child.”

"I am really sorry." You finally say. “I didn’t want to upset him. You're so stressed after the battle with Wakanda, I didn't want to fill your head with my empty desires.”

Her husband exclaimed a sound through his mouth and looked at you with disappointment.

“You wanting a child doesn’t upset me, my love.” He kissed her lips, walked away and spoke again: “What upsets me is my queen turning to another God to conceive a child.

"My love..."

He interrupts her with a simple look and speaks again.

“Pray that K'uk'ulkan will give you a baby.”

He returns to his starting position, with his head between your legs, he takes a single breath against your exposed pussy, his hair glistening with wetness, before diving in and latching onto your throbbing clit. Lewd sighs and moans escaped his lips as you ran your hands through his wet hair to pull him closer to your pussy. With impressive skill he sucks, licks and pinches his wetness.

The tension in your body increases as You fight to keep yourself sane, your arousal constantly dripping down and staining the sheets. He puts his hands on her thighs to keep them apart and devour her pussy. He ate You like a hungry man; licking her entrance, sucking her clit with his lips and brushing his beard against her skin. You cry out in surprise as you feel him bury his nose over your clit, the jade piercing brushing against your stimulated folds. He actively rubbed his face against your pussy, causing a large wave of excitement that made you shudder as you moved your hips seeking more contact.

Just as you were about to reach orgasm, he pulls away from your pussy, forming a stream of saliva from your mouth to your pussy. You open your mouth and let out an anguished gasp.

"No! Please." You whimper, your legs tremble as that peak of pleasure escapes you for a long time.

You tighten your fingers in his hair in frustration, demanding that he give you the release you desire, but he pulls away. He stands there with a cheeky look as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, spreading his lubrication across his cheek.

“You will orgasm on my cock, my love.” He sighs, his voice hoarse with desire, his pupils darkening and his cock hard. "Let's go! Cry for K'uk'ulkan to give you a baby.”

You spread your legs to welcome him, your wet pussy brushing against the fabric covering his hardening cock. You search for more contact and rub your soaked entrance against his green shorts until he pulls them down. You sigh as you come across such a glorious sight.

“K’uk’ulkan.” You whisper at the sight of his hard compliance eager to accomplish his goal. He rests his dark red head, which was leaking and twitching involuntarily, on her swollen and sensitive clit. You squinted your eyes, enjoying the friction caused by the movements of his hips.

“Come on, wife! Pray that K'uk'ulkan will give you a baby.”

“K’uk’ulkan...” You begin as he positions his member at your entrance. “I beg you to give me a son.” He pushes his fulfillment against the curve of your center, answering your prayer. A loud moan escapes your dry throat when, in a single thrust, he penetrates you.

"Continues." He orders as he pushes his length, sliding it in easily thanks to his touches and how demanding your pussy was to receive him.

You throw your head back as you feel him fully inside You. Your mind goes black as all You can feel is him thrusting hard inside You, pounding until You can feel his heavy balls rubbing against your pussy. You could only moan obscenely as you closed your eyes.

"Let's go! Ask... Ask K'uk'ulkan to give you a baby. Beg him to fill your empty womb with his seed.” He gasps as he felt You squirm beneath him.

“K'uk'ulkan, I offer you everything; fruits, devotion, wine. I only ask that you fill my womb with your seed.” You hiss as you pull him closer, your walls bulging around him. “I give you my heart, my spirit and my love.”

“Offer more.” Demands her husband while thrusting mercilessly.

“I will fill your altar with dragon fruit and I will kneel...” You let out a loud moan when his dick hits that ideal spot inside You. “...Give me a baby.”

"Yes." He says as he chatters his teeth upon hearing your delightful prayer. He kisses her fiercely, a mixture of teeth and lips, her husband pulls away with his addictive lips.

“Your cry has been heard.” He places one hand on her belly to keep her steady while he penetrates her pussy. “K'uk'ulkan will give you a baby.”

Your nails dig painfully into your husband's back and you scream when you feel his dick rub every sensitive spot inside you, causing absurd waves of pleasure that spread through every cell in your body. Your husband growls, aligns his hips up, and digs his member as deep as he can, speeding up his movements.

He thrusts into you with precision, kissing your lips to swallow your screams of pleasure that escape your throat. Excitement fills her thoughts as You allow her husband, this God, to lift her to heaven with his cock. He sets a brutal pace, slamming his cock into her sensitive pussy. His breasts bounce painfully with each thrust of his hips.

"Take it." He growls the word, opening his teeth like an animal. “Take my seed, wife. Carry my children.”

He holds your hips with his fingers and squeezes them until his finger marks remain. You don't care, the pleasure he gave you left you oblivious to anything. He ejaculates inside You, shuddering as your walls accompany him in a sublime climax. With each generous jet of cum into his womb, you whimper with relief as you finally feel satisfied and full. He places soft kisses on your cheeks and lips.

You feel him soften in your pussy, he finally pulls out, releasing his fluids onto the sheets. He immediately shoves two fingers into her sensitive entrance pushing his cum back inside.

“Don’t waste anything.” He says, admiring the results of the desire between his fingers.

“Let me get up.” You say as you sit up in bed, or try to, your legs are shaking and your lungs are panting. “I must place a basket of dragon fruit on K'uk'ulkan's altar and kneel at his feet.”

“No need to bother, my love.” He says with his fingers still inside You. “He has his tasty dragon fruit right here. Ready to be devoured again and again and again.” He sticks a third finger inside You while using his other hand to touch your sensitive and aching clit. “I’m going to fuck you until you’re pregnant.”

You scream his name in a prayer of pleasure as his fingers begin to stimulate your clit and his fingers inside you stimulate the spongy flesh in your pussy.

🌙✨ Witch's Brew: Iced Moon Coffee Enchantment

REQUIRED TOOLS: A glass jar with a lid (for containing the magic), generous spoonfuls of ground coffee (to awaken the spirits), a trusty jug (to hold the elixir), and cold water (nature's potion base).

STEP 1: Initiate the ritual by bestowing your glass jar with a sacrificial offering of ground coffee. Let the cold water cascade, infusing it with intentions as though whispering secrets to the universe. Seal the jar's fate, guarding its secrets under a lid. Allow it to revel in the moon's glow, for it shall soak up lunar energy on a windowsill or beneath the night sky.

STEP 2: At the break of dawn, usher the jar into the heart of the fridge, where it shall meditate in cool solitude. With the precision of a seasoned witch, transfer the elixir to a jug, ensuring the slumbering coffee grains remain undisturbed. Sweeten the potion with sugar or milk, for even the most bewitched brews need a dash of indulgence. Summon a cadre of ice imps to join the revelry, ensuring a frosty enchantment.

Sip slowly, for within this elixir lies the very essence of lunar energy. Let it course through your veins, awakening the dormant magic within.

Connecting with the Moon: A Beginner's Guide to Lunar Magic

🌕🌌✨

As the moon graces our night skies with its celestial presence, it carries an undeniable allure that captivates our hearts and spirits. For those starting their journey into the world of witchcraft, connecting with the moon's energies opens a gateway to a world of powerful possibilities.

🌟✨

In this blog post, I'm thrilled to share what I have learnt so far about Lunar Magic and how i have been incorporating this into my craft and every day life.

🌟✨

Understanding the Moon Phases 🌑🌓🌕🌗🌑 The moon waxes and wanes, creating distinct phases that each hold unique energies. From the New Moon's fresh beginnings to the Full Moon's peak of power, understanding these phases allows us to align our spells and intentions with the moon's cycle.

Harnessing the Moon's Energy 🌙🔮 The moon's energy is a potent source of magic that can amplify our intentions and manifestations. By meditating under the moonlight or charging our tools in its glow, we draw in lunar energy to infuse our craft with heightened power.

Lunar Rituals and Esbats 🌌🕯️ Esbats, the rituals performed during the Full Moon, are perfect opportunities to honor the moon's influence and work on releasing what no longer serves us. From moonlit gatherings to solitary ceremonies, these rituals provide a sense of connection and transformation.

Moon Water and Moon Bathing 🌊🛀 Moon water, charged under the moon's rays, is a versatile tool for cleansing, charging, and enhancing our spells. Additionally, basking in moonlight during moon bathing offers a deeply spiritual and rejuvenating experience.

Setting Intentions with Moon Journaling 📝🌠 Keeping a moon journal allows us to reflect on our experiences during each moon phase, track our emotional and spiritual growth, and set new intentions with every cycle.

🌟✨

The moon is not just a celestial body but a mystical guide that illuminates our path as witches. As we embrace lunar magic, we become attuned to the natural rhythms of the universe and deepen our connection with the magical forces that surround us.

I has a thought…

So if Eclipse is collecting the residual energy of Solar based on my assumptions with what Puppet revealed:

Imagine they bring him back with Lunar using his lightning powers to shock Solar to life in his new body Frankenstein’s Monster style.

Infusing his body with his energy that came from his collapses dimension as well as star energy from THIS dimension and anchoring him to it. The body AND this dimension.

The cycles of the Moon

Observing the cycles of the Moon brings understanding the intrinsic tone of each individual born during the lunar phases.

This was a theory that originated from traditional astrology, and astrologers today still find it significant to note it's force.

The 8 cycles of the Moon include: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous (Disseminating), Third Quarter, & Waning Crescent (Balsamic).

The Moon "waxes" when more light is becoming revealed.

The Moon "wanes" when light is fading away to complete darkness.

In the following are simplified interpretations of the characteristics a person may inhabit by the phase they're born under:

⋆ The New Moon has little light. People born under this phase may have a childlike quality. Instinct overrides logic.

⋆ The Crescent Moon is when light is beginning to be revealed. People born under this phase have similar qualities to those of the New Moon but have an added touch of foresight. An energy with focus.

⋆ The First Quarter is when the Moon is half light. There's an element of tension and individuals born under this phase have an ambitious and risk-taking quality.

⋆ The Gibbous phase is when more than half of the Moon is glowing with light. Those born under this phase are aware of the importance of organisation and self-growth, they may be ambitious to exceed in all areas of life.

⋆ The Full Moon is when the Moon is completely infused with light. People born under this phase live a fulfilling life that's rich with experience.

⋆ The Disseminating phase is when light begins to fade. Those born under this phase have a natural incline to give back and share.

⋆ The Third Quarter phase of the Moon is back to being half light. People born under this phase have a philosophical nature and breakaway from the norms.

⋆ The Balsamic phase is when the Moon is less than half of light. Those born under this phase are knowledgeable and spiritual.

These interpretations are by astrologer, Kelly Surtees.

I've simplified her interpretations but I plan to make an in depth post of each phase individually :)

Tips for Writing Werewolf

1. Research Werewolf Lore: Immerse yourself in the vast lore and mythology surrounding werewolves. Familiarize yourself with different cultural interpretations, historical references, and popular legends to develop a well-informed foundation for your writing.

2. Transformative Metamorphosis: Explore the physical and emotional aspects of the werewolf transformation. Describe the sensations, struggles, and heightened senses experienced during the metamorphosis, capturing the primal nature and duality of the human-wolf hybrid.

3. Dual Nature and Inner Conflict: Delve into the internal struggles faced by your werewolf characters. Portray the constant battle between their human consciousness and their animalistic instincts. Explore the themes of identity, self-control, and the choices they must make to coexist with their dual nature.

4. Pack Dynamics and Loyalty: Develop the dynamics of werewolf packs. Showcase the hierarchy, social structure, and loyalty that bind pack members together. Explore the importance of pack bonds, rituals, and the consequences of breaking pack rules.

5. Moon's Influence and Lunacy: Highlight the powerful influence of the full moon on werewolves. Describe the heightened strength, agility, and bloodlust experienced during this lunar phase. Portray the emotional intensity and wild abandon that accompanies the moon's pull.

6. Hunting and Predatory Instincts: Capture the primal nature of werewolves' hunting instincts. Explore their senses, tracking abilities, and the thrill of the chase. Portray the conflicting emotions of guilt, satisfaction, or remorse that arise from their predatory nature.

7. Curses and Transformative Triggers: Consider the origins of the werewolf curse or triggers for transformation in your story. Whether it be a family curse, a bite from another werewolf, or an enchanted artifact, establish the rules and consequences surrounding the transformation.

8. Werewolf Mythos and Weaknesses: Define the traditional weaknesses associated with werewolves, such as vulnerability to silver, wolfsbane, or certain rituals. Establish how these weaknesses can be used against them and explore the challenges they pose for your characters.

9. Character Development and Growth: Allow your werewolf characters to evolve throughout the story. Show their struggle to control their animalistic instincts, develop a sense of self-acceptance, or find a balance between their human and wolf sides. Explore themes of redemption, self-discovery, and personal growth.

10. Conflict and Threats: Introduce conflicts that test your werewolf characters' abilities and survival instincts. Include external threats like hunters, rival supernatural creatures, or internal power struggles within the werewolf community.

Remember to infuse your writing with vivid sensory details, emotional depth, and an understanding of the primal nature and duality that define werewolves. Let your imagination run wild as you explore the thrilling world of werewolf lore.

Sterek || E || Friends to Lovers || 7k wc

“I’m comfortable with my life,” Stiles told Lydia, and he was. He had a job he loved, his pack was safe, and he got to see them regularly. Yeah, there was one thing he would like to change, but there's only so much he can do to change that one thing. Stiles was pretty sure that dating other people wouldn’t help. Or Stiles agrees to let Lydia set him up on a blind date, not realizing who exactly she had in mind.

AN: I realized I never made a full on tumblr post with this..oops!

This was written For L_Grae with the prompts: ~Mutual pining with meddling from the pack. ~Future fic, blind date set up by certain packmates, not realizing Sterek has a FWB agreement already.

Unfortunately, I can't quite write friends with benefits (I gave it a valiant effort, but my brain just couldn't get it right), so I merged the prompts together.

Sterek Valentine's Bingo 2024: Candle

~*~*~*~

Locking the office up with a whistle, Stiles tossed his keys in the air before catching them and shoving them in his back pocket before he turned to walk down the street to the combination coffee and bar that sat a block or so away from his office. He mentally patted himself on the back for that smooth move before abruptly tripping on nothing. Stiles looked around quickly. No one saw that.

That was the one good thing about it getting dark before Stiles even leaves the office at this time. The whole shorter days thing that came with winter coming AND Daylight Savings Time ending at the same time does get somewhat depressing at times, but it’s not like Stiles has never gone around town at night before.

Back in high school, nights were the only times that Stiles could really investigate supernatural happenings what with needing to actually go to school. He always did love a good puzzle to investigate and even contemplated  joining the FBI. However, after botching up his own internship with the FBI, Stiles ended up going to college at Beacon Hills Community College. While still in school, Stiles started a side hustle as a Supernatural Private Investigator, and, upon graduation, he was able to devote his time to his growing business, even opening an office in the slowly reemerging downtown area of Beacon Hills.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the local Beacon County packs, the Nemeton was growing healthily again, bringing positive energies with it, something even the everyday humans could feel. Because of this, more people, both supernatural and human, were moving to town and slowly building up the local economy.

Just the short walk between Stiles’ office and Lunar Lounge, his favorite bar and coffee shop, included a boutique one of Stiles’ old classmates opened, a vegan smoothie shop, owned by a nice family of elves that just moved here a few years back, and a greenhouse bookstore whose owners were always more than happy to provide Stiles with any herbs he needed for potions work after he helped them with a pixie infestation that took residence in one of their personal gardens at their house.

The Lunar Lounge was where many of the Hale pack worked. Open practically 24 hours, it served coffee and breakfast for the morning crowd before transitioning into a pub style bar in the afternoons. In addition to providing human beverages, Lunar Lounge also offered a variety of specialty drinks for the different supernaturals of Beacon Hills, including but not limited to wolfsbane infused homebrews, real bloody marys, and a selection of shimmering, almost ethereal, wines that Peter had procured a vendor for that Stiles was pretty sure was fae, but the wolf refused to confirm or deny that suspicion.

Entering the open double doors, Stiles nodded at Isaac who was behind the bar preparing some fancy pink and yellow monstrosity of a cocktail that was most definitely too sweet for Stiles’ liking.

He crossed the open sea of scuffed wooden tables, dodging a pair of colorful haired women that suddenly blocked his path as they stood up to go who knows where. Reaching the back corner, he found Derek at his usual table that he’d probably been sitting at for the last several hours, hidden from most by a black metal staircase that led to a lofted lounge area. Dark eyebrows furrowed as Derek continued to type on his laptop.

As Stiles plopped down in the seat across from him, Derek glanced up before he said, “I’m almost done. Give me a minute.”

Stiles grinned, “You’re good.” Derek smiled before turning his attention back to the screen.

Hey witches! Are you drawn to the rhythm of the waves, the salty scent of the sea, and the boundless expanse of the ocean stretching to the horizon? If so, you might be attuned to the magic of Sea Magic, a mystical practice that connects with the elemental energies of water and the mysteries of the deep. Here are a few ways to embrace the magic of Sea Magic:

🌊 Connect with the Tide: Sea witches typically have a strong connection to the ocean, drawing inspiration, energy, and spiritual guidance from its vastness and power. Tune into the ebb and flow of the tides, allowing their rhythmic movement to guide your magical workings and rituals. Work with the energy of high tide for abundance and manifestation, and low tide for release and letting go.

🚰 Water Magic: Water is a central element in sea witchery, and practitioners often work with its properties for cleansing, healing, intuition, and emotional balance.

🌙 Moon Magic: Like many other forms of witchcraft, sea witchery often incorporates lunar cycles and phases, harnessing the energy of the moon for rituals and spellcasting.

🪸 Herbalism: Sea witches may work with herbs and plants associated with coastal regions or those that thrive in saline environments for magical purposes.

🐬 Work with Sea Creatures: Connect with the spirits of the sea and the creatures that dwell beneath the waves, such as dolphins, whales, and mermaids, honoring their wisdom and guidance in your magical practice.

🐚 Collect Seashells and Sea Treasures: Sea witches may collect shells, driftwood, seaweed, and other items washed ashore for use in spells, rituals, or as talismans. Gather seashells, sea glass, and other treasures washed ashore by the ocean, incorporating them into your spells, rituals, and altar decorations to infuse your magic with the energy of the sea.

🌊 Invoke Ocean Deities: Cultivate a relationship with ocean deities and spirits, such as Poseidon, Yemaya, or Neptune, by offering prayers, making offerings, and invoking their blessings and protection in your magical workings.

🧜🏼‍♀️ Seafaring Lore and Folk Traditions: Sea witches may draw upon maritime folklore, legends, and traditions for rituals, spells, and divination practices. Marine creatures like dolphins, whales, mermaids, and sea turtles may hold symbolic significance in sea witchcraft, representing various aspects of the ocean's energy and mythology.

🌬️ Navigation and Divination: Some sea witches incorporate navigation techniques, such as reading the stars or using instruments like compasses, into their practice. Divination methods related to the sea, such as scrying with water or shells, may also be used.

🦭 Respect for Nature: Central to sea witchery is a reverence for the natural world, particularly the ocean and its ecosystems, with an emphasis on environmental stewardship and sustainability. Sea witches often perform rituals for protection, purification, healing, and empowerment, drawing upon the strength and resilience of the ocean.

Whether you're a beachcomber, a sailor, or simply a lover of the sea, Sea Magic invites you to dive deep into the mysteries of the ocean and explore the hidden realms that lie beneath the waves. So let the rhythm of the sea guide you, and may your magic flow as freely as the currents of the ocean! 🌊🐚

Is there any lore behind champions ?

Surprisingly no, to my knowledge. Nothing conclusive at least. It's sort of implied that they're special enemy types beefed up by Darkness powers. They first appeared in Shadowkeep. I originally believed that they have something to do with Nightmare powers, but that's not been mentioned or confirmed anywhere.

We could speculate on the aesthetics of their look. I always wondered about that; the effect that identifies them has a sort of Nightmare-aesthetic quality.

The red ... "ribbons" that they have. No clue. It's probably just a gameplay thing. If they're meant to be Darkness-infused beefed up enemies that were somehow spawned into existence by our tinkering with the Lunar Pyramid, it might explain the Nightmare-ish look and also possibly why they're everywhere now, given that the Pyramid Fleet is all over the System and showed up in the year of Shadowkeep.

I went to double check online if I missed any mention of them and Destinypedia (not a reliable source) lists the text of this bounty from Season of Dawn (season 2 of Shadowkeep year) as proof that there were champions in the Infinite Forest:

Defeat Cabal Champions. "There are many tricky enemies in the Infinite Forest. I fought them so many times that I learned all their tricks, and then I crushed them." —Saint-14

I personally don't think so. I don't think Saint's "tricky enemies" are meant to be read as champions here, just because the bounty is to kill champions. Generally the text on the bounty is related to the bounty itself, but this could also just mean that champions are tricky and Saint is commenting how he had his own fair share of tricky enemies to fight. Not necessarily that he fought champions. But that's up for debate since we don't have other information otherwise.

Soooo! After a long time, I have finally decided to show you all my ror OC 👉🏻👈🏻😳 obviously, she is a Moon Goddess eheheh

NOTE: Tanit has actually already appeared as the reader in this story, so some of you may have already read about her. The creation of this OC took place in conjunction with the fic, and what was supposed to remain as the reader eventually became something more.

Tanit, Moon Goddess of Carthage (ROR OC)

🌙 Appearance

Tanit is the Goddess of Love, Fertility and Moon, Mother Goddess and tutelary deity of city of Carthage (Phoenician emporium on the coast of Tunisia). Goddess with an ambivalent face, gentle and sweet with those who ask for her help as ruthless and terrible with her enemies, she appears as a tall and buxom deity, always dressed in red, gold and black. On her head is the diadem with the same symbol reproduced everywhere in Carthage; her pale skin always emanates a soft clarity, while her tears are reputed to cure infertility.

🌙 Past...

Tanit was born as a simple lunar deity: her role was to accompany the moon on its nocturnal journey and look after the mothers of all species and their offspring.

Her fortunes changed following a incident in which she unwittingly deprived the king of his pantheon of his military honors and the city of Carthage began to venerate her as its patroness and main goddess; this provoked a war among the gods which culminated in the burning of Carthage, the exile of Tanit and the death of her husband, who had tried to defend her. Alone, abandoned among the ruins of the city, the goddess did not lose heart and decided to live among the citizens and help them rebuild everything: and so Carthage reborn from its ashes and became even more splendid and powerful than before. Tanit's power extended into the Mediterranean and touched many coastal areas; however… however, her fortunes took a sharp turn again when the couple of priest and priestess who tended her main temple, and with whom she had a relationship, died of old age, and the goddess was unable to face the pain of this loss. At this point, in fact, she left Carthage and began to wander the world, unrecognizable: her skin was black, her eyes were blind and wherever the moon went, instead of illuminating, it darkened, showing everyone the pain of her lady.

In this state, the sacred sources say, she was found by the God of Lightnings Indra: she attacked him first, seeing in him an enemy, and he was forced to fight until he was able to defeat her and took her with him to the Hindu Pantheon, which welcomed and worked hard to heal her pain.

🌙... And present

After centuries and centuries, Tanit has recovered from her pain and now lives in close contact with the Hindu gods, who consider her as a sister. She is afraid of love because she fears suffering again, however she can't help but adore Benzaiten and doesn't disdain the attentions of Shiva, who spoils and pampers her a little too much for being just a friend. She believes that her fate has no surprises for her, yet, once again, something changes and it does during Ragnarok (which secretly sees her side with men): after the Fifth Fight, the goddess meets for the first time the God of the Storms Rudra, the much-named companion of Shiva, and her beliefs are put to the test.

Also, she is close to Marte.

🌙 Names

Lady of Carthage, Moon of Carthage, Great Moon, Great Moon Mother

🌙 More about the character

She always breastfeeds orphans and cubs, animals and humans. Her breasts are always full of milk;

When she feels strong emotions, especially during sex, her eyes ooze silver and golden tears;

Under her dresses, she wears a lot of golden chains and jewels. This gold is strong, infused with her blessing and the love of her city because it is made by the goldsmiths of Carthage, and cannot be broken;

For some centuries, when a moon cycle is about to ending and starting anew, a little black moon can be seen floating near Tanit. It is a sort of emanation with its own thoughts and personality, and helps the goddess to protect herself and the others in this delicate phase. This fellow is a mischievous one and takes its duty very seriously, so when it is present nobody can approach Tanit, or it will attack and bite. Its name is Hannibal, like the strongest general of Carthage, and it loves and respects only its lady.
